Mr. Widget

Same question though.. would it adhere to the horn ?? Important consideration... also, isn't rubber rather transmisive ?

Bernard

they are quite ridgid and could probably take a lot of weight if one were to go this route.. very interesting. .. have been thinking about it and it might not be all that difficult to make a mold...

Hi Mr. Widget,

Tell me,if you would be so kind, how you think this material might work out applied to the back of a H3100 for sound absorption. I presently have applied a layer of automotive type...

Sorry to take so long responding to this post.. been rather busy...

The notion of doing all of the above is way beyond my needs/interests at this point in time... kind of scarry too ! ...

Sorry : Actually, that's not really the case ( though a new plug & play may be close enough for R & R ).

Still :
- The LCR notches will still need to be tweaked to properly zone in on the...

Well, I do have to put my 2 cents worth in.. unfortunaltely, since I do not think that either of you have heard a factory built setup I don't know how you can say anything difinitive about the...

$605.00..... Ouch ! ... Guess the $200.00 or whatever it was I paid off of Ebay was a steal considering it looks to be 'brand new'. OK then, as soon as I can I will be off to Solen here in Montreal...

Hi Earl - thanks for keeping up with this thread :applaud:....

Yes, I have been patient and the reason is that my 3100's sound just great as they are and thus there is no burning desire to change...

What do you mean by "standard Diaphragms"? 275nd's or 2426H ?

As for tweaking, yes, if I knew what to tweak.... I was thinking more of like sending it to you :applaud:

Well I certainly appreciate that... not much doing here. They (JBL Montreal) can barely comprehend what I am talking about! But in any case, whatever.. it's not like the 2426H sounds terrible you...

Mr. Widget tried that for me through a friend of his in Japan.. no go. Apparently they are 'obsolete'.. which really kills me. I guess they will repair them though.

So did you actually manage to get the 275 dias to fit in the 2426 ? Just a drop in ? If that were a known, for me at least, then I would attempt to tweak the x'over. BTW, I have a spare N3100 x'over...

Earl is in Toronto which is about 350 miles..

Shipping at about 300 lbs would be way over the top..

Solen would charge I don't know what for those x'overs.. I'm guessing maybe $500.00 or so ??...

Well that leaves me out as there is no way I can do it ! I will just keep praying for a second 275nd to show up and then have a new MKII x'over built for me by Solen here in Montreal. Any ideas who I...

So, I finally did get the other 275nd diaphram but have not had the courage to try and swap them out yet. I am presently trying to acquire some new bass driver Gaskets - one of mine is due - and as I...

Well.. I won the bid at $182.50 ! Not too bad I figure. I am now negotiating with the seller on a new 275nd diaphram which he is also auctioning. I f I can manage that then I will have 2 diaphrams...

thanks ever-so-much Earl, much appreciated... although most of whats being recommended is out of my league. I think what I will do is try to get that single 275nd if the bidding does not go too high....

[QUOTE=Earl K]

- If it was me ( & if I couldn't stand the suspense ), I would buy a pair of 275 replacement diaphragms ( plastic coated Titanium ) and install them into the stock 2426 drivers .
...

Well.. yes :blink:..... I thought everyone knew that ... thats why I was rather bothered by some recent postings about the Everest having a diffuse soundstage... I didn't say anything...

You are absolutely right - I just downloaded the instruction manual from JBL and it is only the bass driver that is coated.

Bernard

correct me if I am wrong, but is the 2426 not also aquaplas coated ? I can't find the service sheet that I once had for this, but if in fact the 2426 is coated then what is the big deal with the nd ?...

man .. ... you guys leave me in the dust so fast isn't not even funny :blink:

will take me a day and a half to figure all of this out.... but thanks for the extra quick response.... should have...

Hi everyone - I have searched the forum but still do not have my question answered. I am wondering if a 275nd would be a drop in replacement for the 2426H thats in the S/3100 now. Of course I know it...
